Notes

Initially listed as missing in action, the remains of PVT Thomas were recovered and interred at a private cemetery in New York. His name is permanently inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial.

When an individual’s remains have been accounted for by the U.S. Department of Defense, a rosette is placed next to the name on the Wall/Tablet/Court of the Missing to mark that the person now rests in a known gravesite.
